Killeen Base DASA
U.S. Army
**Killeen Base DASA** was established in the early 1950s near Killeen, Texas, as a key installation for the U.S. Army's nuclear weapons program during the Cold War. Initially operated under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Army, the base became closely associated with the Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA) after its creation in 1959. Killeen Base DASA played a critical role in the storage, maintenance, and security of nuclear ordnance, supporting both national defense and NATO commitments. The installation's mission gradually shifted as nuclear weapons policies evolved, eventually leading to its integration into the larger Fort Hood complex and the end of its unique DASA designation in the early 1970s.
LETTERMAN ARMY INSTITUTE OF RESEARCH (LAIR)
U.S. Army
The Letterman Army Institute of Research (LAIR) was established in 1971 at the Presidio of San Francisco as a successor to the Letterman Army Medical Center’s research division. LAIR was tasked with conducting biomedical research to support the health and readiness of U.S. military personnel, focusing on fields such as trauma medicine, infectious diseases, and combat casualty care. Throughout its history, LAIR contributed significantly to advancements in battlefield medicine, including innovations in wound care and the management of hemorrhagic shock. The institute was deactivated in 1994 as part of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process, with many of its programs relocated to other military research facilities.

The center played a crucial role during both World Wars, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, serving as a major treatment and evacuation hospital for wounded service members returning from the Pacific Theater and other regions. Throughout its history, Letterman became renowned for its advancements in military medical care, rehabilitation, and research. The hospital was decommissioned in 1994, but its legacy endures in military medicine and the ongoing use of its site for medical and technological innovation.
Loran station Lampang thailand
U.S. Army
LORAN Station Lampang, located in northern Thailand, was established by the United States Coast Guard in 1966 as part of the LORAN (Long Range Navigation) system during the Vietnam War. Its primary mission was to provide vital navigational signals to support U.S. military operations and allied forces throughout Southeast Asia. Staffed by both American Coast Guard personnel and local Thai workers, the station operated until it was decommissioned in 1975 following the end of major U.S. involvement in the region. The closure of LORAN Station Lampang marked the end of a significant chapter in Cold War-era navigation and military cooperation between the United States and Thailand.
